It is peculiar, isn't it. SV also seems hell-bent on expanding outward rather than upward, which runs against the staggering cost of land here. That approach is also rather anti-urbanist, which is unexpected for a place that's otherwise pretty progressive. I've known people who are walking contradictions (I'm one of them), but SV is a place of contradictions. I've never seen that before.
